If you have questions concerning your studies, please consult all resources in your student Handbook first.

For enquiries or concerns about individual modules, students are encouraged to approach relevant module leader (the person who teaches this class) at the end of each class. Academic staff may also hold drop-in in-person or virtual consultation hours during the semester and students can discuss any issues during these times or make an appointment.

You are also welcome to contact your Year Coordinator should you have concerns in relation to your studies
